Wood Eating Insects "Evidence of Presence"?

What is the correct way to annotate posts showing patterns made by wood eating insects, like this:

I believe it’s “Construction.” “Leafmine” doesn’t work as it’s not a leaf and it isn’t between two layers of a leaf.

It’s explicitly listed here under the examples for the Construction annotation: https://www.inaturalist.org/blog/91456-new-evidence-of-presence-values-added

“Construction” is meant for observations of anything an animal has constructed or excavated out of other materials, such as nests, burrows, hives, spider webs, beetle galleries, egg sacs, and the like.
